    For each borgon and kirkin, she is paid $20 and $40 respectively.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let x = price of a borgon.

    y = price of a kirkin.

    Equations

    for last week,

    6x + 23y = 700 ... *

    For this week,

    6x + 18y = 600 ... * *

    solving the two equations simultaneously using the elimination method, subtract eqn * * from eqn *

    You would be left with

    5y = 100.

    y = 100/5

    y = 20.

    put y = 20 into any of the equations.

    So putting it into equation ... *,

    6x + 23 (20) = 700

    6x + 460 = 700

    6x = 700-460

    6x = 240

    x = 240/6

    x = 40.
